Default Philly area Spring Install???

Hey folks,

I bought a set of Eibach lowering springs almost 2 months ago now, and they're just sitting in my basement because I can't find a place that'll do the install for less than $300.

I REALLY, REALLY want to get these on my car, and soon. I'm going nuts looking at those sweet, sweet, springs just sitting in the box.

Anyone know a place that may be able to help me out? Or anyone have the setup to be able to give me a hand? I'd be willing to drive a good few hours in any direction (assuming it can be done on the weekend) if any of you NY or DC cruisers know of a place.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!! [xx(]

A good place to go is Berlin Chrysler in Berlin N J. Quoted me $200 to put in new springs. They do good work and you won't have to worry that it's not done right. TireRacks installers are lame. I went to one to make arrangements to do a tire install ( Beacon Motorsports ) and they wanted $25.00 per tire to mount a balance and they don't even have a lift around $ 350.00 for springs I couldn't even pin them down to an exact price. I had the tires drop shipped to Berlin Chrysler and they charged $10.00 per wheel to mount and balance

DBROWN,

your bro is hooking me up in a few weeks, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm so psyched to finally get these springs out of my living room and on my car! They've been sitting there for over 2 months now!!!

Grouch hit the nail on the head Berlin Chrysler & their service Mgr, is Scott (856-767- 7700) are they're a great great dealer, First Class, The Best. They're on the White Horse Pike on Route 30 heading south towards the shore.

Another guy to consider is Bargain Brakes and Mufflers (856-962-1626) and they're just across the side street from Wal-Mart on Route 73 South in Berlin, the guy who runs it is Jodi, He's done a complete suspension rebuild,coil and leaf springs, tie rods, links, everything brand new and he did the custom made muffler/exhaust system (duals on a flathead, no less) and he did them from scratch on my 51 Vicky,his prices are good, his work excellent, but ignore the tatoos and big buck bikes, this guy really is very well educated and as honest as all hell but don't go there without calling and speak to Jodi at 856-962-1626 being as Jodi owns it and he's not an AM person, you should shoot for after 10:30.

Hey All, Just wanted to check in and let you know I got my springs installed on Saturday!!! [?][?]

What a wonderful feeling! DBrown, your bro hooked me up! I should have pics to post soon....

Also, Chris told me that if anyone else around the Philly area is looking for help on stuff like this, he's available. $200 for a spring install & alignment is a hell of a deal!!!
